The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter  57 - 50: Shackles Unlocked_1

The next day, as the dawn light gently filled the sky.

In a bedroom, Lu Ran was sprawled out on the big bed like an octopus.

"Woof!"

Mr. Husky had woken up early and, pressing his face against the glass window while watching the rising sun, turned to provide Lu Ran with his wake-up service.

In his joyful eyes, there was a hint of anticipation.

Time to get up!

It was time for revenge!

The sleep-deprived King of Sudden Death was woken up before Lu Ran by the noise, feeling less than splendid.

"Ugh..." Lu Ran dawdled for a while and then stretched lazily as he got out of bed.

He had important things to do today!

After a groggy wash-up, Lu Ran said to the King of Sudden Death in the room:

"You're free to do as you please today."

"Mr. Husky and I are going to Infinite City later."

Because Manager Ying said yesterday that he should go to the Neko Maid Cafe in Infinite City No. 3 at noon today to collect his prize money!

Today, he wouldn't accompany his master; collecting money was more important!

"..."

The King of Sudden Death was silent, indicating that he would obediently stay in the corner of the room and told Lu Ran to make sure to come back safely.

"Don't worry, we're not going to do anything dangerous..." Lu Ran laughed.

The King of Sudden Death's current line of thinking was that, for his own safety, he must remind Lu Ran and Mr. Husky to be careful.

...

Infinite City, Passerby A's exclusive room.

Although they had arranged to collect the money at noon, Lu Ran and Mr. Husky had arrived quite early.

This return to Jinling left Lu Ran feeling a new sense of freedom, as if a shackle had been released from his being.

The most important gain from this trip to Jinling wasn't solving the problem of the Necromancer or getting the official prize money.

It wasn't even obtaining his senior brother's notes, learning which Secret Realm to focus on next.

It was that his superpower had been discovered by that cat...

Lu Ran had always known that exposing his Psychic Sensing was only a matter of time, although no one knew he had superpowers, too many animals did.

In Green Sea City alone, at least tens of thousands of animals knew, including wild animals, other people's pets, zoo animals...

If it had been before extraordinary evolution, with the intelligence of those animals, knowing wouldn't matter much.

But if one day, someone were to evolve these animals to extraordinary levels, their intelligence would also increase, and if they still remembered Lu Ran then, naturally, the early ability to communicate with him would be exposed.

Of course, that wouldn't be such a big problem, because Infinite City had already appeared three years ago, and even if people found out, most would probably think that Lu Ran had some special Beast Training Skill or knew a Beast Trainer friend or had obtained some sort of communication tool.

So, in this respect, Lu Ran wasn't very worried, but neither was he pleased, as it could cause some inconvenience.

Now the reason Lu Ran was so happy was that he learned he wasn't the only Superpower Expert!

Moreover, according to Manager Ying, as a Superpower Expert Beast Trainer, they all had exceptional talent.

That way, he could use his identity as a Superpower Expert to cover up the existence of the "Deer Horn of God."

One is an innate talent that has already been exposed; it's hard for outsiders to take away. He just has to be careful about the Necromancers.

The other is a tool anyone could use, yet to be revealed, and a powerful Beast Trainer could easily snatch it away. Clearly, the latter carries a greater risk once exposed. Over the years, many dark forces and protective umbrellas have fallen; villains still exist, so it's always right to be cautious.

Going forward, as long as he's out, presenting himself as Superpower Expert not only gets him taken seriously, but also, if he performs exceptionally well in a Secret Realm using the Deer Horn of God on his own, there's an excuse ready.

If a regular Beast Trainer grows rapidly, outsiders will be curious and investigate, but if a Superpower Expert grows rapidly, they'll just take it for granted after all, with other Superpower Experts setting the precedent.

In effect, the identity of a Superpower Expert is a great protective umbrella for Lu Ran, giving him the genius persona, allowing him to use the Deer Horn of God to tackle Secret Realms without worry.

Then, he can just attribute all his achievements to his superpower talent, since nobody would know what he specifically did in the Secret Realm.

The shackle had been released...

Lu Ran showed a smile, it was still early, and he had come in early with Mr. Husky this time precisely to thoroughly conquer the Demon Cat Forest Secret Realm!

"Mr. Husky."

"Woof!" Mr. Husky had been informed of the day's tasks since yesterday and couldn't wait; he had been circling around the Secret Realm column.

His gaze was sharp!

It was time to settle all scores!

"Let's go, it's time for revenge," Lu Ran said cheerily.

The Grass Demon Cat wasn't as strong as the Undead Spirit Cat, but now, after seven days of training, Mr. Husky could crush the latter and naturally handle the Grass Demon Cat with no trouble!

The only thing he needed to watch out for now was to minimize getting hit to score higher.

Typically, in such Secret Realm challenges to score high, one would need a good combination of minimal damage taken and efficiency in defeating the BOSS.

......

"Teleportation complete."

"Current location: Demon Cat Forest (Novice Secret Realm)" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Difficulty: Easy"

"Challenge mission: Defeat the Demon Cat Leader."

After the teleportation was completed, the familiar voice came again.

On the damp ground,

Lu Ran stood, looking into the depths of the forest.

Mr. Husky was by his side to the right, his nose twitching slightly.

It was already their third time entering the Demon Cat Forest Secret Realm. As the saying goes, the third time's the charm, and this time they were determined to take down the Demon Cat Leader.

Then after collecting the reward at the Maid Coffee Shop at noon, they would buy some intelligence on ordinary, hard and even Abyssal Secret Realms like the "Abandoned Research Institute", aiming to reveal the "Weapon Control Trait" as the target for a new round of challenges.
